Hockey thread

Macke

I find it silly that we have a number of topics about really an irrelevant baseball team(Don't get me wrong I love baseball I live in the heart of baseball for Canada but the Jays are a joke) but no real thread dedicated to hockey.

Note I named it Hockey and not NHL.. so don't be all up in my face about how NHLers are all spoiled millionaires that play a game for a living.. let us discuss all things Hockey... from yes the NHL to Juniors, International, Street... anything.

But yes the Playoff stretch drive is on and a cool little tidbit.. if the playoffs started today all Original 6 teams would face each other in the first round.

Winnipeg, Edmonton and Calgary aren't even in the playoffs at the moment?

Macke

Winnipeg has an outside shot.. they need to win at least 5 of their remaining games though they've just hit a wall and played more games then everyone else already.

Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto(Yes, Toronto) are in right now.

Jacen299

nevermind... I read original 6 and computed it as canadian teams.

kwsteve

Habs. That is all.

Winnepeg will be hard pressed to get in, they essentially have to beat Washington in the standings who are on a roll since Ovi has cranked it up.

More than likely heading Fri to St. Kitts to see the Hawks play. Unfortunately will miss the game on Sat for the Royal Cup. Probably will be a sell out too.

Pretty cool to see all 4 Canadian teams in the East in the playoff hunt.

The ridiculous overreaction of Blue Jays fans will be nothing compared to the outcry if/when the Leafs pull their usual springtime nosedive and miss the playoffs.

Milo

Leafs are in . . . it would be a collapse of earth shattering proportions for them to drop out of the playoffs now.

I expect Boston to over take mtl setting up mtl vs toronto match up.

Never underestimate the ability of the Leafs to pull off a collapse of earth shattering proportions.

And I am a Leaf fan. A jaded one, of course!

They may be the Leafs, but that does not make them the cubs, right?

No way they miss the playoffs this time. 4 points in the remaining 9 games guarantees at least 8th... Pretty sure my grandsons rep team could get that many...:)

Just cause your grandsons rep team would do it doesn't mean the leafs can...

Odds on Leafs making playoffs this year? 10-1 for... I'll put up $100.
